Is a Toyota Proace a Peugeot? Pretty much. So are the Citroën Jumpy, Opel Vivaro, Fiat Scudo and even the Iveco eJolly: six badges on one van. Carmakers have been sharing platforms for decades, but these days a lot of cars are the same vehicle sold under several names, and it’s hard to see that from any single brand’s catalogue.

So I made a chart of it.

Prefer paper? There’s also an A0 poster (PDF, 14 MB) that shows just the 78 twin families, made to be printed and read without hovering.

What you’re looking at

Every car, van and pickup up to 3.5 t that you can order new in Europe (537 models, using the Swiss model names) sits in one big table:

• Columns are brands, grouped by who owns them: Volkswagen Group, Stellantis, Renault Group, Toyota, Geely Holding and so on.
• Rows are vehicle classes, from light quadricycles like the Citroën Ami through city cars, compact SUVs and executive saloons up to large vans and pickups.
• A solid coloured frame marks the same vehicle under another badge. There are 78 of these families, such as the Volkswagen Amarok and Ford Ranger, the Toyota RAV4 and Suzuki Across, or the Renault 5, Alpine A290 and new Nissan Micra.
• A dashed frame marks a platform sibling: same underpinnings, different body, like the Volkswagen ID.3 and the Cupra Born.
• Flags in the brand headers show the country of each brand’s head office and, where it differs, the country where its cars for Europe are built.

Hover over a car to light up all its relatives. Click it for the details, including the platform, length, powertrains, all-wheel drive and the sources behind each pairing. You can filter by owner, class, powertrain or drive, switch between side and front views, or put every car to the same scale to see how a Fiat Topolino compares to a Ford Transit.

How it was made

I didn’t build this by hand: I had AI do it. Claude Fable 5.1 did the research, the twin matching and the chart itself, and Claude Opus 5.5 handled the supporting work: collecting the drive-train data, finding and cleaning up pictures, and the cross-checks. My part was setting the rules (which market, which names, what counts as a twin) and reviewing the results.

Every model was checked against the manufacturers’ own Swiss and European model lists, and the detail panel links to the sources for each car and for nearly every twin pairing. The side and front views come mostly from carsized.com. The data reflects what was on sale in autumn 2026, and I’ll update it as models come and go.
